Re: mjpeg playback possible?

Hello Kevin,

Thank you very much for the quick response, I don't know why I didn't
think of trying an <embed> tag.

I have created a test html page with the code you suggested.
Mplayerplug-in does load, which is great, but the video never plays.
Mplayerplug-in never gets out of "Buffering 99%".  The number of KB
increases, and there is network activity, but the video never loads.

I assume this is just a configuration option somewhere?  I've been
experimenting with the documented config options, but so far I haven't
made any progress.

Thanks again.
